The DB2/IMS tool consists of the following automation JCL Skeleton ISPF/Tables, load,copy,reorg,recover,restats,checks, rebuilds, and bins. This tool will access the environments, test profile, create JCL. The tool will automate data captures procedures and reduce the workload process approximately 90%. From completed.
• Assist several others to implement a Sysplex mirroring system for data capture to reduce the total cost of test environments for S/390 systems. My objective was to logically provide robust intersystem communication, system monitoring, and automatic failure takeover mechanisms, shared multiple operating systems and multiple underlying hardware system nodes, Key system profiles, catalogs, and other resources across the clustered systems to enable efficient "cloning" of system. Also controls the cross system coupling facility. in data storage own applications that I am tuning are pretty heavily IO bound; 70-80% of the elapsed time is in IO wait. So even the smallest increase in DASD performance could have a fairly significant impact on overall response time. In our previous runs the Hitachi DASD was performing quite nicely (better than IBM). We were able to push up to 50,000 IOs/sec with Around a 7ms response time. Hitachi thought we could go much higher, but the test app wasn't driving enough load. When running our real applications full-boar, we were seeing IO response times between 6-7ms.
